Week #1

This is a traditional Cold Process soap which is also known as a lye soap.
When the soap is completed, there will be no lye present in the soap, all of the lye
will be attached to oil molecules and this will cause the lye and oil to chemically
change into natural handmade soap. This is how natural soaps are made.

candles on the market are filled with chemical fragrance oils and not actual oils from a plants essence.

of the Fragrance Oils to inform the consumer what these chemicals are.
